wAsHINGToNs LUCK.
The Washington delegation demanded some Of
the strong players and threatened to get out of the
league unless it should get them, arguing that it
was for the interest OF all concerned to make the
CLUBS IN the league as nearly equal In strength
possible and not leave any one club hopelessy
weak. II was positively decided that the star
players, Denny and Glasscock, should go to In
dianapolis and that they could not be sold for
year. Although President Hewitt was somewhat
disappointed in not getting either OF these men,
ne was appeased by the promise OF Whitney, AL
Myers, Donnelly and OBrien for the sum Of
$500. These men will prove great addition to
the strength Of the home team, and with good
management the Statesmen ought not to be Ger

PROSPECTIVE rRoUR1e
The BAH players who have been lounging about
the corridors OF the Fifth Avenue hotel for the past
two days assert very positively that several Of the
players Indianapolis has on its list will not sign
an Indianapolis contract unless they receive their
seasons salary in advance or 1t Is placed in some
